"Mr. Wang Shu, I'm very interested in your song 'The Wind Rises'!
That's why I specifically came to Jizhou to discuss cooperation with you, and I'd like to ask you to sell this song to this humble girl!"
In the coffee shop, a girl wearing sunglasses and wrapped up tightly.
Was speaking softly to a disheveled, plainly dressed man at the same table.
Although the girl's face couldn't be seen, Wang Shu judged that the young lady in front of him should be good-looking.
Wang Shu picked up the coffee on the table, took a small sip, and asked:
"How much are you willing to pay?"
"Is fifty thousand yuan acceptable?"
Xu Yunshang directly stated her highest offer.
Then she placed the drafted contract in front of Wang Shu.
Because she knew this was a good song, and the value it could bring her was far beyond what fifty thousand yuan could measure.
Otherwise, she wouldn't have risked being discovered by paparazzi and traveled all the way from Modu to Jizhou alone to negotiate cooperation.
"Did you bring enough money?"
After hearing the other party's offer, Wang Shu directly took out a pen, signed his name on the contract while asking.
He agreed just like that?
Xu Yunshang picked up the signed contract with disbelief.
She had initially thought it would take some effort to obtain the copyright of this song.
She hadn't expected the other party to agree so readily, without even giving her a chance to haggle.
...
【Longguo Commercial Bank: Your account was credited with 500,000 yuan on July 10th at 5:00 PM.】
On the way home, Wang Shu looked at the bank message on his phone and couldn't help but sigh in relief.
"System, purchase the blueprints and technical data for a 1nm lithography machine!"
Wang Shu directly said in his mind in a low voice.
【Ding! Congratulations to the host for successfully obtaining the "1nm Lithography Machine Blueprints and Related Technical Data."】
As the mechanical prompt sounded in his mind.
The next second, Wang Shu instantly felt many unfamiliar pieces of knowledge in his brain.
"Could this be all the technology for a 1nm lithography machine?"
Wang Shu couldn't help but marvel inwardly. This system was truly magical.
Upon returning to his rented room, Wang Shu first opened his computer and wrote down all the knowledge and data in his mind.
Afterwards, he compiled it into a complete thesis and submitted it to the mailbox of the Longguo Academy of Sciences.
Of course, Wang Shu sent his email in a special way.
This way, the recipient would not be able to find Wang Shu's information based on the email.
After all, he didn't want to be dissected and studied by those scientists.
【Ding! Detected that the host has voluntarily contributed "1nm Lithography Machine Technology" to the country. Contribution +5】
【Detected that the host's lifespan is less than 10 days. Automatically exchanged 5 days of lifespan for the host.】
【Current Contribution Value: 0】
Less than a second after the email was sent, the system's prompt sounded again in Wang Shu's mind.
"Five days? So my fifty thousand yuan only bought me five days of life?"
After hearing the system's prompt, Wang Shu almost spat blood from anger.
What had he done to deserve this?
He had struggled in the entertainment industry for over a decade in his previous life, and was on the verge of becoming famous.
Who knew that during a concert, the stage collapsed, and he died on the spot!
Then he transmigrated to this parallel world.
He had originally thought that he would be like the protagonists in novels.
Relying on the classic works in his memory, he would be a plagiarist and reach the pinnacle of his life.
But then he was told he had cancer and only had less than ten days to live.
And he was bound to a system that required him to serve his country!
He had to use the money he earned through hard work to purchase some cutting-edge technologies that China didn't have from the system mall.
Then, after submitting these cutting-edge technologies to the country.
He could obtain random contribution points to extend his life.
However, Wang Shu never expected.
That a huge sum of fifty thousand yuan would only get him five days of life!
This system was truly damn expensive!
Wang Shu opened the system mall again.
Looking at the sky-high prices of cutting-edge technologies in it, he started to feel a pain in his liver.
With less than ten days of lifespan left.
If he couldn't earn enough research funding to purchase these cutting-edge technologies to extend his life.
He would probably have to say goodbye to this world.
Wang Shu browsed through the system mall.
The cheapest item currently, "Ultra-high Precision Machine Tool Manufacturing Technology," cost over three million yuan.
To earn so much money in a short period, just relying on selling songs wouldn't be enough!
Therefore, he had to go back to his old profession and try his luck in the entertainment industry!
Wang Shu thought to himself.
...
At seven o'clock in the evening, in the network duty room of the Longguo Academy of Sciences.
A man with sparse hair returned to his computer.
He planned to review the remaining submissions in the Academy's mailbox before going home.
As the national academy, the Longguo Academy's mailbox was open to everyone in the country.
Any scientific ideas and research results could be submitted to the Longguo Academy via email.
The Longguo Academy would then select valuable scientific ideas and research from these submissions.
And provide the submitters with a certain amount of funding and academic assistance.
Because of this, the Longguo Academy's mailbox was basically always full.
Therefore, the Longguo Academy implemented a shift system for reviewing emails.
Every week, a professor would be on duty as the director of the network office.
And this man with sparse hair was Chen Mao, the director of the Longguo Academy's network duty room for this week.
Chen Mao sat in front of the computer as usual, checking emails one by one.
Then selectively replying.
Facing the computer screen.
Chen Mao would sometimes frown, sometimes shake his head in despair, sometimes sneer, and sometimes get angry.
Although the Longguo Academy would carefully review all emails submitted to the mailbox.
A large portion of what people submitted was too fantastical and had no research value.
Therefore, many professors at the Longguo Academy were not very willing to be on duty to review these emails.
Just as Chen Mao was about to delete some meaningless manuscripts.
An email with the subject line:
"Free 1nm lithography machine blueprints, please check!" caught his attention.
"Quite arrogant!"
Chen Mao snorted lightly and was about to delete the email directly.
However, out of curiosity, he still opened the email.
He wanted to see what trick this sender was playing!
Because in his opinion, this email was 100% a prank.
After all, lithography machines were not something just anyone could create.
Many countries had invested countless funds and manpower without any substantial breakthroughs!
Even the current technological level of country M could only produce 5nm chips. 1nm seemed like a fantasy!
What's more, how could a civilian researcher possibly master such high-end technology?
One minute...
Five minutes...
Ten minutes...
Thirty minutes...
Chen Mao, who had no hope for this email at first, was now drenched in sweat.
His eyes were fixed on the screen, and his mouse was constantly scrolling up and down.
"Unbelievable! It's simply unbelievable!"
Chen Mao muttered to himself, as if possessed.
He repeatedly checked the thesis, comparing various data.
He even found a pile of materials to conduct logical arguments and data calculations.
He worked until two in the morning before reaching an incredible conclusion!
The content of this email was entirely feasible.
With trembling hands, he picked up the phone on the table and dialed a number.
"Hello! Dean! Something big has happened!"
Chen Mao said to the person on the other end of the phone with extreme excitement.
...
Ten minutes later, the Longguo Academy of Sciences convened an emergency meeting.
Hundreds of scientists from the semiconductor field of the Longguo Academy rushed back to the Academy overnight.
To debate and discuss the contents of Wang Shu's email.
That night, the conference room of the Longguo Academy was brightly lit.
